Ingredients
- 1 pound okra
- 5 tablespoons kosher salt divided
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups distilled white vinegar you can also use apple cider vinegar or a combination
- 5 cloves garlic smashed
- 1 tablespoon honey or use white sugar
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
- 1-2 spicy chilies sliced (optional, for spiciness)
Instructions
- Wash the okra, remove the stems and slice the okra in half lengthwise. Toss the okra in a colander with 3 tablespoons of salt. Allow to drain for 1 hour.
- Add the water, vinegar, salt (remaining 2 tablespoons), garlic, honey, bay leaves, dill, and mustard seeds to a large pan.
- Bring the mixture to a quick boil, then remove from heat and stir.
- Rinse the okra in cold water to remove any slime and extra saltiness.
- Stuff them into a large quart jar (Ball jars are good here), but leave about 1 inch of head space. You can use multiple jars if needed.
- Add the hot pepper slices on the top, if using.
- Pour in the brine and seasoning mixture and screw on the cap.
- Refrigerate for 24 hours before using to develop the flavors, though they can be eaten right away. They are much better after 1 week.
